Heritage Malta is inviting you to discover some of Filfla’s secrets, as recounted by John J. Borg, Senior Curator of the Natural History Unit, who has been studying the island since 1982.
Discover how Filfla was formed, the etymology of its name, the island’s allure for pirates, its use as a bombing target, the creatures and plants that now call Filfla their home, and countless other facts during the boat ride along the eastern and southern coast of Malta. And keep your eyes open as skinned – sightings of seabirds, turtles and dolphins are possible!
The boat departs from Sliema Ferries at 10:00 hrs sharp and returns at 17:00 hrs. There will be no disembarkation on Filfla and no swimming around it, but on the way back to Sliema the boat will make a stop in the beautiful waters off Delimara for those who feel like a dip.
So slather your sunblock, don a cap, and meet us at 09:30 hrs opposite Burger King, ready for a day of fun and learning. Refreshments and snacks will be available to purchase from the boat’s bar.
